(Makes 30-32 servings)

For those of you who are watching your calories, you can deceive yourselves by making these little desserts.  The trick is to only eat just one – yeah, right!

For cheesecake:
(2) 8 ounce packages of cream cheese (room temperature)
3 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 box vanilla wafers

For topping:
1 pint sour cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 can cherry or blueberry pie filling

For cheesecake, cream together first 5 ingredients.  Beat until smooth, about 2 minutes.  Place vanilla wafers (flat side down) in cupcake liners.  Fill ½ full with the cheesecake mixture.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.  Cool 1 hour.

For topping, beat together first three ingredients and spread over baked cheesecake.  Bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes.  Cool and top with a spoonful of cherry or blueberry pie filling.  Chill.
